Week 8 update – No Back Pain at All

Today I was mowing the lawn yet again and it was becoming overwhelming obvious how productivity increases with this lifestyle change. The thing I realized yesterday, and was so obvious today was that I had zero back pain. Up until now I have been enjoying so much regaining my mobility I simply did not care if there was still some pain. I have likened this process to having chains lifted off of me one by one and today it feels like they are gone. I feel absolutely pain fee, and it is fantastic.

Productivity and Time

I speculated at the start of this process that almost every aspect of my life could be improved in some way by eating better, losing weight and exercising. Being able to keep up with maintaining things like grass and yard work has been one of those things. I figured I would be able to do more and be more busy with my time, which has turned out to be true. However a by-product I did not consider is that It also indirectly gave me more time in my day instead of taking it away.

Some grass cutting with no pain!

 “I am finding to the contrary exercise pays you dividends in the most valuable asset we have, our time. “

The last time I mowed the grass it took me an hour and a half with little pain. This was so much better than the half a day it had been taking me in excruciating pain before. But yesterday I managed the yard in only just over one hour and with zero pain. Each little victory adds to not only what I can do, but how much I can do in a day. People feel they do not have enough minutes or hours in their day for exercise.  What I found to the contrary exercise pays you dividends in the most valuable asset we have, our time. This can be in the form of time added to your lifespan, your efficiency to complete mundane tasks or just your enjoyment of the time you have. It has become clear that it is the best investment you can ever make.
